Thaksin to return and 'fix the government'

[buksida]

This just gets better and better - both the PRD and DSI bosses have been replaced by Thaksin cronies and :

The Nation: "I definitely stay out of politics" : Thaksin

Bangkok Post: Surapong to ask Thaksin to be economics adviser

Its just as well the majority of Thais don't give a toss about politics.

Mr Thaksin's return was as sweet a pr job if ever I've seen one.
The whole show was very well scripted indeed .

The immediate arrival---- he was flanked by heaps of heavies but he strode out defiantly in front.... the sign of a true leader?...

Next---- the pan to the passive and teary family along with the sound of cheering and claping......the sign of an honoured and family man may I suggest.

Then followed the warm embracing of the many true believers ...... surely this guy can't be all that bad can he ?
there are all these people there who are wanting to touch him but there are wow so many that they are having to be pushed back by those caring heavies ---

And along came that defining moment --- the old Pope's kiss trick --- that's where he hits the paving wai ing -- surely a certain sign of a humble and remorseful human.

His heart must really be for Thailand after all---

How did it come across to you ?

It made me feel decidedly ill - yes, it was skillfully handled but what's the difference between this type of 'PR' and a 'Con Job'
